Patients with CMT often have pain. Pain can be related to nerve injury, but other causes of pain include musculoskeletal causes such as joint injury. About 80% of CMT patients have some pain. On the other hand, less than one in five complain of severe pain. Interestingly, the pain is not related to the severity of the neuropathy. The pain is usually in the feet and/or hands because these are the areas most often affected by CMT.
